Dolly Singh is aware that there are trolls who do body-shame women, and has said in interviews that there "may have been" judgemental stares when she started doing yoga in public, but she doesn't care.

Dolly Singh, who works for a TV channel in Mumbai, feels that teachers need to be different also. "If there are different kinds of bodies, why should teachers all look the same?" she has said in an interview.

A self-taught yoga practitioner, Dolly Singh first started recording her session to check progress, but then started posting clips of her yoga poses and sessions on Instagram. Soon, she had a big following.
